Announcement for Juniors as well as Freshmen.... My after school days will now be Monday/Wednesdays from 3:45 to 5:00 p.m. Students need to advise me during class on the day they plan to stay what they need to make up. Students have one week after a test has been given or an assignment turned in to make it up. This time will also be used for extra help.
Please take note and advantage of this time.
American Literature
Monday - We had our final test on The Scarlet Letter. Tomorrow we will backtrack a wee bit and take a look at the Revolutionary/Age of Enlightenment/Reason periods... Then we will move onto Transcendentalism/Romantism - which is actually revisiting, as with Hawthorne, we were exposed to Puritanism, by a Transcendentalist, and we also read two other works by Hawthorne, as well as one by Washington Irving - who was considered an Anti-Transcendentalist/Dark Romantic- whereas though Hawthorne's work explored the dark side, my theory is that he did so in order to contrast the light.
With that said... we will be introduced to Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau following our brief, but enlightening (pardon the pun) time with Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Payne, and the one and only Patrick Henry.
Following our Emerson and Thoreau... we will then spend a week - right before Halloween ... with everyone's favorite Dark Romantic - Edgar Allen Poe....as we explore his psyche and how he used his own fears and phobias to explore things that go bump in the night - (insert eerie music)....
Tuesday- Wednesday The Revolutionary/Enlightenment Era in a (Time) Capsule
Wednesday/Thursday- Benjamin Franklin - Aphorisms
Rhetorical Strategies in Persuasive Writing/Speaking
Writing Assignment - we will peer review these on Monday.
Freshman Literature
This week we are continuing our unit on poetry. We should finish it out this week. I am really proud of all the hard work by the majority of the students. However, there are a few who have yet to turn in assignments going back to week 7-8. I am giving students until this Friday, October 9 to get any poetry assignments that have not been turned in... turned in.
Monday/Tuesday October 5/6 Lesson
Wednesday/Thursday October 7/8 Lesson
Friday - we took Poetry Unit Test.
